Answer to Question 1

Retrospective coping inventories suffer from the same issues discussed in Chapter 4 regarding inventories that ask for recall of stressful life events. That is, people often have difficulty remembering events accurately and may have memory distortions or biases when answering. Some researchers have attempted to get around this problem by using momentary accounts of coping such as asking about the most stressful experience the research participant had that day or during another proximal interval, commonly 48 hours.

Answer to Question 2

The 50-item Ways of Coping scale that measures eight types of coping was one of the first checklist coping inventories (Folkman & Lazarus, 1980, 1988b). This inventory measures coping strategies labeled confrontive coping, distancing, self-controlling, seeking social support, accepting responsibility, escape-avoidance, planful problem solving, and positive reappraisal.
